Adsensing My way to $55 A Day...

I am very new to this business and looking for doing the same. So I will be watching closely. Will be great inspiration for me to pushing it up.
 
Story: 4 Months to Kill, let's see if I can get from scratch to $55 per day using adsense...

Screw the back-story, right? Let's get down to numbers...

In the last month I've purchased 11 Domains each for a single KW. I guess it's called sniping. None of them are exact match domains, all dot coms. All 11 are Wordpress blogs with 1 or 2 Articles each. Targeting High CPC.

All money page site SEO has been White Hat. After one SEO session each KW's ranking are;

Site 1: # 2 (Added adsense 30 Days ago)
Site 2: # 6 (Added adsense 20 Days ago)
Site 3: # 15
Site 4: # 17
Site 5: # 21
Site 6: # 28
Site 7: # 86 (6 in YH) (Ranking of subpage, main page missing)
Site 8: # 94
Site 9: # 120 (Ranking of subpage, main page missing)
Site 10: # 131 (Ranking of subpage, main page missing)
Site 11: # 583 (Ranking of subpage, main page missing)

I'm going to wait till the pages are on the front page before monetizing.

The SEO method seems to work for the most part, so I'm looking to create mini-authority sites and optimising subpages for different keywords.

Month to day stats: 2,694 Views, 141 Clicks, $144.02

Feel free to give advise or ask questions, I'm a SEO noob so keep that in mind.

I would say :
You have rehashed my Micro Niche Strategy.
Just keep on going , this is not like putting all the eggs in one basket its like learning a chapter of Online Money Making.
Use CTR theme it will improve your revenue.
You can sell these sites just multiply its monthly earning with x 5-10
It will become an asset to you when the sites will start earning.
By the way can you tell me that when you checked the keyword in traffic travis then what did it showed i.e easy keyword or relatively easy?
Best of luck and Keep it UP :beach2(2)

Thanks for the encouragement.

I think 8 of the 11 were "relatively easy," basically I dodged anything of medium difficulty and above. I also cross checked them with SerpAttacks and they were all under 30 in difficulty on the default setting.
 
Hey, do you use the free version of TT? Also can you tell us more regarding your KW research? Thx.

This is what I spend a lot of my time on. I look for words with a high cpc and what I think will be low competition. This is where I may be ignorant, I'm not looking for a term with an EMD or zero competition. Every KW term has a little, but with time I believe I will be able to top 3 them.

I've found no real secret to finding profitable niche's. I just set out 90 mins per day for researching potential markets.

And yes, it's the free version, just got a MS trial, looks good.
 
Review: Day 1 of 135: 110 Views, 13 Clicks, $10.32, 11.82% CTR

One of the most profitable days to date, CTR was huge. Makes me scratch my head though, the day previous had been a dud with a 2.5% CTR, I think adsense might take a couple of days to even out it's stats.

Good News: Woke up this morning and my Disappeared pages had returned! Took a couple of weeks but they're ranking high. Must have been a dance.

New Ranking Stats;

Site 1: # 2
Site 2: # 10
Site 3: # 15
Site 4: # 15
Site 5: # 21
Site 6: # 28
Site 7: # 32
Site 8: # 42
Site 9: # 48
Site 10: # 75
Site 11: # 575 (Turns out I optimised for the wrong KW term)

Very positive. Going to do the same again this week and see if it pushes them up further.
 
Huge CTR from such a small amount of views; I am personally around 0.5-1% CTR (from much more traffic as one site is 250+ uniques/day)

Is your site somewhat made for adsense?
 
I am trying to do the research for keywords my self but the result is very depressing. I was not able to bag any niche. I think I have to try hard. Well Scococo good luck with your quest. Watching you along the way.
 
Very impressive that you're getting not only that many impressions ranking low, but you're getting clicks worth a lot of money. Is there any reason for you to be afraid of adsense banning you? It doesn't look like you're doing anything wrong...

Well I'm doing everything by the book so far, saying that, I'm getting someone else to setup another adsense account just to be safe.

The only "edgy" thing about the sites is the fact they're Adsense orientated.
 
Review: Day 3 of 135: Totals: 124 Views, 6 Clicks, $6.89, 4.84% CTR

Things seem to have settled down around $7 the last couple of days. This is expected due to the fact the monetized blogs are still in the same ranking spots.

However,

Good news
: The site which was ranked #21 is now #9. Just added adsense and my views/clicks have gone up 30% today. The term is just about twice as popular as the one I have ranking at #2.

New Ranking Stats;

Site 1: # 2
Site 2: # 6
Site 3: # 9
Site 4: # 13
Site 5: # 14
Site 6: # 24
Site 7: # 27
Site 8: # 32
Site 9: # 49
Site 10: # 73

Nice!
I like to read those stories as I am about to start my IM career ;)
 
Everything in this thread sounds great. Keep up the good work and post regularly ;)!
 
Review: Day 9 of 135: 141 Views, 9 Clicks, $9.11, 6.38% CTR

In the last week or so I've been somewhat guilty of sitting back and admiring the sites. No real change on the ranking front, one of the pages I want to stick an affiliate program on is #11 so hopefully it can be bumped onto the front page soon.

Did 6 rounds of SEO in the style I did earlier (same sites, different accounts) so it'll be interesting to see any changes in the next couple of days.

Going to do some manual commenting on high PR pages now to mix things up.

That's about it.

Good luck on your own campaigns!
 
Review: Day 45 of 135: 332 Views, 38 Clicks, $29.14, 11.45% CTR

I've now got 15 sites, 4 are ranking in the top 10 (#1, #2, #3, #10)

A couple of important observations:

1) I have shifted my focus from "Top 10" to number one in the rankings as it grabs you 40% of the searches. I never really acknowledged the importance until I got there. The current #2 site will easily be worth $10-$15 a day when it reaches number one.

What I'm seeing: One site at number one = 4 sites at #2 = 6 sites at #3 = 15 sites at #8!

With that in mind, I'm going to focus on ranking 7 of the sites to the number one position.

2) Look for similar variations in keywords. For instance the term "Buying used cars" and "buy used cars." I'm finding, although I aim for one, I'll automatically rank highly for the other. This can multiply your potential target income if you keep this in mind when choosing a niche. Along the same lines, "Coffee beans" also ranks well/easily for "coffee bean."

Yesterdays total was pretty high, I'm averaging about $20 a day with a CTR of 7.5%

Pretty much repeated the plan as before, threw in a few xrumer blasts/ blog comments and it all seems to be going in the right direction.
 
Looks like you are going pretty well to start. I have experience with Adsense but for some reason I have never been successful with it. At one point someone was purposely clicking on my ads at a suspicious rate so they eventually banned me from their network.
 
Awesome well done i saw this thread when you first started it (when i was lurking) seems like youve come a long way shame you didn't keep a more detailed log but we are all human and busy ones at that :p
